BofA Securities raised its price target on Allison Transmission (NYSE:ALSN) stock to $79.00 from $74.00 on Monday, while maintaining an Underperform rating on the shares. According to InvestingPro data, ALSN currently trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 11.4x, with strong financial health metrics including a current ratio of 3.05x.
The price target adjustment follows Allison’s June 11 announcement that it agreed to acquire Dana’s off-highway business, a move that would extend the company’s reach into construction, forestry, agriculture, and industrial markets.
BofA noted that the acquisition would nearly double Allison’s potential revenue and comes at a relative low point in the cycle for off-highway markets.
The firm highlighted several key aspects of the deal, including what it considers a fair valuation compared to similar acquisitions in the space, and Allison’s apparent strategy to diversify away from the North American truck cycle.
BofA also pointed out that the acquisition marks a turning point in Allison’s capital allocation strategy, while noting the deal would mix margins down approximately 800 basis points with synergies.
